[QUOTE="Orbitr, post: 240825, member: 5128"] Mirrors were tight when I picked up the bike. The nuts backed off from simple vibration (I assume) -- probably because they weren't locking nuts, and were merely finger-tightened. This isn't an issue of the nuts not being tightened--it's an issue of them not being tightened [B]enough[/B]...and being the wrong kind of fastener for that application. It's a design and assembly problem, not a dealer prep issue, IMO In my experience, nylons don't back off like non-locknuts. Too much friction....they generally stay put, even if not gorilla-tightened. [/QUOTE]
